“…Furthermore, if the waste is not harmlessly treated, the remaining bacteria, viruses, heavy metals, and other pollutants will exist for a long time and may pollute the surrounding environment [15,16]. Composting refers to the treatment of degradable organic waste by biochemical technology [17][18][19]. e organics in the MSW are decomposed and converted into stable soil humus.…”

Municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) has been widely used due to its benefits in reducing waste and recovering energy. However, MSWI fly ash and bottom ash are increasing rapidly, causing harm to human health and the environment. This paper discussed the production process, physical and chemical properties, leaching properties, pretreatment methods, and applications of fly ash and bottom ash. By summarizing the previous literature, it is found that MSWI fly ash and bottom ash have mechanical properties similar to natural aggregate. Many beneficial attempts have been made in cement concrete aggregates, ceramic raw materials, and highway engineering materials. Due to concerns about the leaching of heavy metals in fly ash, its application in highway engineering is limited. The application of bottom ash in asphalt pavement is rare because of the side effect on the performance of asphalt mixture. Considering the solidification effect of cement on heavy metals and the low cost of fly ash and bottom ash, the application in cement-stabilized macadam base has broad application prospects. This is beneficial to reduce the construction cost and promote the process of waste incineration, especially in developing countries.

“…Although volume reduction by incineration and landfill dumping are still reported as the currently implemented disposal technologies [24], they are counterintuitive in terms of environmental remediation and pollutant containment. Thanks to decades-long research, these methods are starting to be challenged by technologies in the process of consolidation that accommodate circular economy approaches [25]. The new alternatives can be classified as composting, phytomining, and thermal treatments [26,27].…”

Phytoremediation is an attractive strategy for cleaning soils polluted with a wide spectrum of organic and inorganic toxic compounds. Among these pollutants, heavy metals have attracted global attention due to their negative effects on human health and terrestrial ecosystems. As a result of this, numerous studies have been carried out to elucidate the mechanisms involved in removal processes. These studies have employed many plant species that might be used for phytoremediation and the obtention of end bioproducts such as biofuels and biogas useful in combustion and heating. Phytotechnologies represent an attractive segment that is increasingly gaining attention worldwide due to their versatility, economic profitability, and environmental co-benefits such as erosion control and soil quality and functionality improvement. In this review, the process of valorizing biomass from phytoremediation is described; in addition, relevant experiments where polluted biomass is used as feedstock or bioenergy is produced via thermo- and biochemical conversion are analyzed. Besides, pretreatments of biomass to increase yields and treatments to control the transfer of metals to the environment are also mentioned. Finally, aspects related to the feasibility, benefits, risks, and gaps of converting toxic-metal-polluted biomass are discussed.

“…Diminishing petroleum reserves and emerging environmental issues have created interest in developing economically efficient and environmentally friendly technologies. [1][2][3] In the current situation the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels and value-added chemicals is one of the most promising ways to decrease the dependence on fossil fuels and thus potentially reduce greenhouse gas emissions. [4][5][6][7] Biomass feedstocks can be converted to bio-oils as an alternative for fossil fuels via fast pyrolysis technology, as shown in Fig.…”
